When The World Cup 'Fan Sections' Contracted Cosmetics Company After Arrested Camera Due To Her Beauty

Axelle Despiegelaere

JAKARTA - The World Cup is a platform for future stars to create names for themselves - and we are not just talking about the players.

Many fans became famous after the camera photographed them among the crowd for their beauty. Step back to 2014 in a tournament hosted by Brazil, that's what happened to Belgian fans Axelle Despiegelaere.

Just 17 years old, he cheered on his country ahead of the group's second game against Russia, which they won 1-0. He wears a vicious hat with the color of his country, in honor of the nickname of their Red Devils.

Axelle was accompanied by two of his rample-haired friends, but he was very prominent and became the only focus for the photographers at the legendary Maracana Stadium in Rio De Janeiro.

The photos quickly went viral where she was labeled "the most beautiful supporter" in football and "the sexiest fan" at the World Cup, and was immediately signed by French cosmetics company L'Oreal which gave her a contract model.

Axelle also appeared in the company's social media campaign and it appears he has found his way of life.

However, the modeling career went short after he uploaded a photo of himself next to the dead oryx on social media before Belgium's last 16 match with the United States.

"Hari is not a matter of life or death. This is much more important than that.. it was about a year ago.. ready to hunt Americans today haha," he wrote in a Facebook post.

After receiving a strong reaction in his comments section, Axelle then added: "I didn't mean to offend anyone.. it was just a joke."

But like Belgium, which beat the US 2-1 but lost 0-1 to Argentina in the quarter-finals, his dream was over. L'Oreal immediately cut ties with him after that. Maybe it's because of his hunting activities in Africa, even though they didn't confirm it.
